Summary
Frieza's 3rd form
Piccolo and Frieza continue their battle and Frieza briefly gets the upper hand. As a last resort, Piccolo removes his weighted clothing and turns the tables against Frieza, dominating him completely. This time, Gohan, Krillin, Vegeta and Dende believe Piccolo truly can win.
However, Frieza reveals a stunning secret: although he has already transformed, it was not his only one, and furthermore, he still has two remaining transformations. Still confident that he can beat Frieza, Piccolo foolishly allows Frieza to reach his third form and raise his power level even further.
Frieza attacks Piccolo with the Crazy Finger Beam
Once Frieza transforms, the fight resumes, but this time, it quickly becomes evident that Frieza has severely outclassed Piccolo in strength and speed. Vegeta notices Dende on the ground and remembers how he healed Gohan, increasing his strength. This gives Vegeta an idea.
Piccolo charges at Frieza but is dominated by the tyrant. Preferring to end things, Frieza begins bombarding Piccolo with a barrage of finger beams so fast that Piccolo cannot dodge. Finally, Gohan's rage erupts and he furiously charges towards Frieza. Krillin is about to follow him when Vegeta stops him, telling him to instead beat him up. Krillin is left puzzled.
